From one of today's most influential art collectors and dealers: a lively, revealing, sometimes blasphemous, always knowing look into the world of art. Richard Feigen's fifty years in the art world have given him a unique perspective on its inhabitants and habits. He writes about the painters he has known and represented (among them James Rosenquist, Jasper Johns, Jean Dubuffet, and Joseph Cornell), and about others whose work he has collected. He writes about his galleries in Chicago and New York City, and about his fellow dealers, including Julien Levy and Leo Castelli. He talks about the "eye" that allows a dealer to recognize a fine painting. He discusses the great art-owning families, art historians, scholars, and conservators. He recounts the story of the debacle at the Barnes Foundation that resulted in the undoing of Albert Barnes's vision for his museum, and reveals the fate of the artworks that belonged to Gertrude Stein. He dissects the art boom of the 1980s and its effects, and takes on the commercialism plaguing American museums today: blockbuster exhibitions and the replacement of great directors with "professional administrators."Feigen has given us an intimate, engrossing portrait of the great art game as it has been played in the twentieth century.

Seit wir enteignet wurden, müssen wir die Früchte unserer Erde mit Geld kaufen. Auf die gleiche Art, Enteignung, Verbote, Vertreibung und Flucht, wachsen noch immer Geldmenge, Schuldentragfähigkeit, der Reichtum der Provisionäre und die Macht über andere. Hegyhátmaróc hatte eine Basisdemokratie, genügte jedoch, wie fast alle Landstriche Europas in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, nicht den fiskalen Erfordernissen. Die Folge waren fiskale Kriege, Kriege des Fiskus, demnach des Staates als Eigentümer des Staatsvermögens, getarnt durch ideologische Herrschaftsparadigmen, welche den Teufel an die Wand malen, Gefahren vorgaukeln und folgend Enteignung, Umsiedlung, Vertreibung, Zwangsarbeit, so wie wir all das heute global organisiert erleben können. Was uns bleibt ist die Benennung dieser historischen Schuld, die Mahnung an künftige Generationen und das Pflanzen von blauen Vergissmeinnicht (Kék Nefelejcs), so niemand vergessen sei, der dieses Dorf gebaut und eine Familie gegründet hat, an deren vielen Verzweigungen bis heute die Blüten unserer Kinder und Kindeskinder immerfort wiederkehrend leuchten. 424 pp. Deutsch

From an outspoken feminist, a leader of the Women's Movement in the 1960s and '70s--a candid, wide-ranging and deeply personal memoir that is, as well, an illuminating historical document of a time and a fight for profound societal change.Brenda Feigen has lived many lifetimes within one--lawyer, wife and mother, civil rights activist, politician, Hollywood movie producer--and in each she has faced down the specter of discrimination against women. She describes how at Harvard Law School she fought to change blatantly sexist practices such as Ladies' Days and law-firm interviewing processes; how she waged battles for women as National Vice President of NOW; how, with Gloria Steinem, she founded Ms. and cofounded the National Women's Political Caucus in the early 1970s; how she became director with Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the ACLU's Women's Rights Project in 1972; and how, in Hollywood, she met obstacles at every turn while fighting for movies with strong, positive roles for women. She describes, as well, the struggles and triumphs of her private life: her marriage (she and her husband were once considered "the perfect feminist couple"); being a (feminist) mother; her relationships with women; her breast cancer. Finally, she chronicles recent advances and losses in the Women's Movement, making clear how far women have come, and how far they have yet to go.
